Oscar is the newest addition to the Foundry family. An alumnus of Magdalen College School, where he was an academic scholar, Oscar combined stellar exam performances with numerous Olympiad, Cambridge and Bebras awards across the Sciences and Maths. He also studied LAMDA to grade 8 in two disciplines, gaining distinction gold medals in both. Now a Natural Sciences undergraduate at Durham University, Oscar has a particular talent for making complicated topics feel accessible. With school exams still in his relatively recent history, he is a master of the mark scheme — specialising in tailoring exam answers to exactly what is required to maximise marks and attainment. In his (limited!) spare time Oscar enjoys racquet sports and scuba diving, and always looks forward to winter when his big passion for skiing takes off again in the Alps.

Tristan recently completed an MA in Modern History at the LSE with Distinction, having graduated from King's College London with First Class Honours in History. He specialises in 20th-century history: his dissertation research focused on Margaret Thatcher's foreign policy, and he has also written on law and violence in colonial India and Hong Kong, the failed peace summits of the 1950s, and Soviet-American diplomacy. That breadth means he can show students the underlying factors behind a topic, taking them beyond the syllabus and into the top bands of the mark scheme.
